Something missing?

Well we knew it was happening. We were told it had happened. But it was a queer sensation standing, looking over a fence across the barren expanse of land where once our home in Japan for three years had stood. While there are plans to develop the land into a Konami sports gym, that day still seems far away. I wonder if the financial turmoil has scuppered the plans.

I didn't quite feel sad, having said my goodbyes and feeling that the whole aparment block looked like it belonged in Chechnya, but I wonder what happened to the things we left behind. Has it all gone into landfill, creating yet another man-made island off of the Japanese coast? The horror...to think of the thousands of cockroaches that must have swept up on demolition day.
